We present BAT – an IND-CCA secure key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) that is based on NTRU but follows encryption/decryption paradigm distinct from classical KEMs. It demonstrates a new approach of decrypting ciphertext since its introduction 25 years ago. Instead introducing artificial masking parameter p to decrypt the ciphertext, we use 2 linear equations in unknowns recover message and erro...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Many pharmacologically-relevant polymorphisms show variability among different populations. Though limited, data from Caucasian subjects have reported several single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in folate biosynthetic pathway. These SNPs may be subjected to racial and ethnic differences. We carried out a study to determine the allelic frequencies of these SNPs in an In...

Knowledge of folic acid and related factors present in the human circulatory system seems important from a fundamental point of view, and particularly because of the use of folic acid antimetabolites in experimental cancer therapy. Available data are fragmentary and conflicting, as is shown in condensed form by Table I. In Table I experiments involving the use of Taka-Diastase have been disrega...

A physical change that may occur in a corpse after death would be heat exchange from the body to thesurrounding environment. An attempt has been made by investigators estimate time since DeSaram method which takes into account rate of fall temperature. total 100 human corpses selectedfor study. The study was conducted October December year 2022. It is very difficult specifynormal temperature, a...

Background: Regional anaesthesia techniques are now being preferred over General in patients with major medical problems and those at high risk for GA. Thoracic segmental spinal has recently gained popularity because of its safety efficacy procedures like laparoscopic cholecystectomy, breast surgeries etc. Methods: A comparative study involving 50 ASA grade I & II both genders age group 25-...

Genes functioning in folate-mediated 1-carbon metabolism are hypothesized to play a role in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk beyond the current narrow focus on the MTHFR 677 C→T (rs1801133) polymorphism. Using a cohort study design, we investigated whether sequence variants in the network of folate-related genes, particularly in genes encoding proteins related to SHMT1, predict CVD risk in 113...

The actions of cell adhesion molecules, in particular, cadherins during embryonic development and morphogenesis more generally, regulate many aspects of cellular interactions, regulation and signaling. Often, a gradient of cadherin expression levels drives collective and relative cell motions generating macroscopic cell sorting. Computer simulations of cell sorting have focused on the interacti...

We present a computer simulation and associated experimental validation of assembly of glial-like support cells into the interweaving hexagonal lattice that spans the Drosophila pupal eye. This process of cell movements organizes the ommatidial array into a functional pattern. Unlike earlier simulations that focused on the arrangements of cells within individual ommatidia, here we examine the l...
